We have a released a new update to News Aggregator bringing some new features and changes
Features and Changes:
Faster, lighter feed fetches
- News Aggregator now tells each feed server what it last saw. If nothing has changed, the server responds instantly.
- Parallel feed fetches. Sources are now fetched concurrently instead of one at a time. On sites with many sources, scheduled fetch runs finish dramatically faster
Flagged item retention period:
- Flagged items are now pruned on their own retention schedule. News items that have been hidden, filtered by a keyword, or flagged as duplicates are automatically deleted after a short retention period of 30 days. Can be changed.
Three new admin options
- Choose how long to keep flagged news items. Default is 30 days.
- (adv) Choose how many feeds to fetch in parallel. Default is 5, choose up to 20.
- (adv) Choose how long to wait for a single feed’s response. Default is 15 seconds, and feeds that exceed this time or are unresponsive result in an error.
